Super Triple Holiday on Twitter

Today is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the day Oliver Cromwell was sworn in as Lord Protector of England. I'd call that a 'Super Triple Holiday!'
We should all have the day off from work, with pay. and free beer.

Twitter remembers this day. Mostly they recall the Boston Tea Party. This might be due to the current incarnation of the Tea Party as a political movement.


@monkfishes Boston Tea Party, Theory of Relativity published, Oliver Cromwell sworn in as Lord Protector of England. Happy day after Bill of Rights day!

@pinotblogger @DebHarkness Boston Harbor tea? A fine blend of select Ceylon and Darjeeling teas.

@99bottlesbeer Raise an ale in remembrance of the Boston Tea Party! 'Twas 237 years ago today that tea was dumped due to taxation...
